Interesting thing about copywrites...If they are not recorded with the US
Copywrite office, they can be copied, duplicated, used, etc, and the originator
has no recourse in law. You cannot sue someone for using your stuff, (Well,
you can sue, but you cannot collect). You can put the copywrite symbol all
over it, and it has no weight in a courtroom. I believe it costs $40. to
register a single piece of original "stuff"...art, music, photos, manuscripts,
etc.

One could argue that the content is not hers(photo's and pedigrees), meaning
she holds no copywrite for this information. The design might be.somehow
copywritable, but even that would be a fine line.If she has created "Artwork"
of
the dogs, that may be considered hers and copywritable - however she used a
source that was not hers, nor was she authorized by the dog's owners to use
them. To some degree it's a two way street.
Let me use this as an example, I considered copywritng my cute little show
calendar and chatted with a CopyWrite lawyer. His opinion was that I was using
readily available information therefore it is was not copywritable, I then
asked about the format I designed for the display, and he thought that was
borderline and would not likely hold up under a legal battle
With that said, if she is approached by the PC web committee and declines to
allow for migration so be it.
Her information is easily replicable and a matter of public/club records and
I will push for the inclusion of more historical information like this on
the PC website. So we reformat it, and be done with it.

I can tell you this.
Jo-Ann designed our web site. Now myself and my son in law maintain it as
she helped me
reach that point.......but I keep her name on at the bottom as the
originator of our site. She
was an awesome talent and yet did everything as I wanted it with sound
advice and was very
co operative and easy to work with.
I can also tell you that I asked her at that time if she would incorporate
her Select GSD site on my
site since BOSS was on there along with a couple others from him........and
she adamantly said
ABSOLUTELY NOT! She created it and it was hers and absolutely not to share
with anyone.
If anyone wanted to look at it.........they had to go through her site!!
I don't think I would do that......she was very seriously opposed to any of
her stuff being used
or copied.

I decided to copy the entire SEL GSD site ;-) so I now have a copy. Most of
this data was collected
with the assistance of Joan, Dorris etc..
So my guess is they(Ferrum) wouldn't mind if we migrated their site to the
GSDCA since they
stopped managing theirs in 2002. M

I wouldn't be too hard to create as long as we had the photos. I would think
that since the Review has the photos of hte Selects for every year, the
photos should be available to he club and the additional art work should not
be
overwhelming - well�at least�on the� years there are less than 38
selects :-)
The format they have is certainly simple enough.
